Nagpur Showcase: India Dominates Day 1 of Thrilling First Test vs Australia

0

Hello cricket fans! The much-awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy has finally kicked off and boy what a day it was! India and Australia went head to head on the opening day of the first Test in Nagpur, and it was the hosts who came out on top, trailing by 100 runs with 77/1 at stumps.

India won the toss and elected to bowl first, and it was an inspired decision. The Indian pacers, Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami, got rid of the Aussie openers Usman Khawaja and David Warner in quick succession. But Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne showed resilience with a gritty 82-run stand. However, Ravindra Jadeja’s spin-bowling magic and Ravichandran Ashwin’s off-spin dismantled the Australian batting line-up and reduced them to 177 all out.

With a comfortable lead of 100 runs, India came out to bat and the day belonged to their skipper, Rohit Sharma. He showcased his class with the bat and notched up his 15th Test fifty with a brilliant display of batting. Rohit was in great touch, but KL Rahul, who was playing at the other end, looked a bit rusty. The vice-captain took almost 5 overs to get off the mark, but he eventually backed his captain well, before being dismissed by Todd Murphy just before stumps.

Nagpur Test: India’s Strong Showing on Home Turf in the First Day of India vs Australia

In the end, India finished the day with 77/1, trailing Australia by 100 runs. Rohit Sharma continues to bat with a positive intent, and India will hope to continue their dominance on the second day. The Australian team will be hoping for a better performance with the ball and try to get back into the game.

It was a day of impressive debuts as Australia handed Todd Murphy his debut and India might hand caps to a couple of players including KS Bharat and Suryakumar Yadav. With both teams facing injury crises, there are sure to be some selection dilemmas in the coming days.

The four-match Test series is crucial for both teams, with the winner securing a spot in the World Test Championship final to be held at The Oval in June.

So, that’s it for today’s play. India dominated day 1 and will look to continue their dominance in the coming days. The wait for the mega Border-Gavaskar Trophy is over, and the series promises to be a thrilling encounter between two cricketing powerhouses. Let’s see how the next few days pan out!

Prominent Indian organization Esportswala acquire a star-studded Thailand-based team

0

Esportswalas new roster will be competing in the prestigious PUBG Mobile Pro League in Thailand for a whopping prize pool of USD 60,000 from February 16

Esportswala, one of India’s leading Esports organizations, has acquired Thailand’s distinguished PUBG Mobile team formerly known as “UTG International” to bolster its presence in the SA (Southern Asia) & SEA (South-Eastern Asia) region. The team will be competing in the upcoming PUBG Mobile Pro League (PMPL) for the massive prize pool of USD 60,000 commencing from February 16, 2023.

With exceptional athletes competing in BGMI, Free fire Max and PUBG New State in India, Esportswala has established its name as a notable organization within the country’s Esports community. While the team has expanded their footprint in the MENA region with their Free fire roster, its latest Thailand-based PUBG Mobile roster in the SA & SEA region is a concrete step taken towards fulfilling its vision of emerging as one of the best Esports teams in not only India but also globally.

“Our organization has always aimed at exploring new opportunities as well as making some unique, innovative changes in the Indian esports community, and it is with this vision that we established our first BGMI team in 2022. The unfortunate ban on the title had an adverse effect on the country’s overall Esports scenario, but we did not let it hinder our goal and consequently decided to move forward with our vision in MENA as well as the SA & SEA regions. We came up with high-quality lineups of PUBG M and Free fire to compete against some of the leading teams in the titles and eventually become a powerhouse in the region. Our next challenge is the PMPL tournament in Thailand and I am confident that our talented team will put in stellar performances to bring the trophy home.” said Vibhanshu Tiwari, Founder and CEO of Esportswala.

The roster comprising team captain Freddy, EARTHq, TYLORq, MrJO and TripleF secured their berth at the well-renowned competition after finishing fourth in Thailand’s PUBG Mobile National Championships last year. They will be competing alongside 19 other teams in one of PUBG Mobile’s grandest competitions in the world which is organized by the illustrious publisher Krafton.

Expressing his joy on playing for an Indian organization, team captain Freddy said“I am very happy that we are playing for a renowned and reputed Indian esports organization like EsportsWala and we feel proud to be associated with them. As I have witnessed Indian teams getting a lot of support from their fans on a lot of previous occasions, we hope that we get similar backing and love from the Indian Esports community. The team is determined to give the fans a very good performance as we take center stage in one of PUBG Mobile’s biggest tournaments. Love you India and we are really looking forward to your support.”

According to Statista, Monthly global app downloads of PUBG Mobile reached 7.18 million in November 2022. PUBG Mobile is one of the top-grossing mobile apps worldwide with approximately 124.79 million U.S. dollars in global mobile player spending during the most recently measured month.

The burgeoning Esports landscape in India which recently received official recognition as a multi-sport event from the government is expanding its roots to become a global powerhouse and Esportswala’s acquisition of a foreign team is a testament to the progress that the industry has made.

Lionel Messi’s brother apologises for vicious rant on Barcelona and Joan Laporta

0

Lionel Messi’s brother, Matias, has apologised for his comments about Barcelona in a recent Instagram post. The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner’s brother criticised the club, and said that they were unknown before the success of the Argentine. 

He also criticised Joan Laporta for his running of the club, and called for the president to be kicked out if they were ever to return to Catalonia. 

Lionel Messi’s brother backtracks on vicious comments about Barcelona 

“I have a SPORT cutting that says “Lionel Messi should return to Barcelona” and I’ve put underneath it “Hahaha”. We are not going back to Barcelona, and if we do, we are going to have a good clearout, kicking-out, among others, Joan Laporta who is ungrateful after all that Messi did for Barcelona,”

“People (in Barcelona) did not support him. People should have gone out to do a march or something, let Laporta leave and Messi stay. The Spanish are traitors. I tell you because I want it to come out of our guts and not listen to things that are not true,” he added.

“I don’t know about you, but Barcelona became known thanks to Messi. Nobody knew about them before. Whoever’s had the chance to go to Barcelona and see the museum, you can see that the museum is Messi.”

“I want to apologise for what I said on social networks: I was just making jokes with my son and my friends. How am I going to think that of a club as big as Barcelona and their history, which has given a lot both to my family and Leo? For us, Catalonia is our second home and that is well known. I’m very sorry and I apologise to everyone, especially the Barcelona fans,” Matias later wrote on Instagram.

Manchester United set for massive bid from Qatar beyond £6bn tag

0

Manchester United are anticipating a bid from Qatari investors to take over the club. A number of high-status individuals from the oil-based economy have come forward to take over the club, with the bidding process set to begin this week. 

The Qatari group is confident that their bid will convince the Glazers due to the sheer financial value. The asking price for the American family is between £6-8 billion, and other investors have been quite reluctant to meet that tag as things stand. 

Manchester United expecting new Qatari owners 

Alongside the massive amount that is being demanded for the takeover, there are also expenses upwards of £2 billion for the redevelopment of Old Trafford. Moreover, investments in the sporting project will also drive up the costs for the new owners. But, it shouldn’t be a problem for the Qatari investors given their sheer financial strength. 

Erik Ten Hag will also be handed a huge sum to build a squad that can challenge for trophies by the Qatari group. However, it remains to be seen whether they will receive the green light from United and the Premier League. 

The QSI will not be involved, and a different party is in talks over the takeover since they already own PSG. A partial takeover is not being considered, and only a full-blown ownership will be contested by the Qatari group. 

Manchester United, Newcastle United and Manchester City would become fierce rivals due to the heated relationship between Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar. But, given their human rights violation record, there is significant doubt about whether the takeover will be approved.

OnePlus 11 hands-on – Should you pre-order it now?

0

OnePlus recently launched its new flagship smartphone yesterday at the Cloud 11 event and we were there to experience the OnePlus 11 for a brief moment. As it turned out, this OnePlus 11 5G is premium in a lot of aspects and has been improved a lot since the last flagships.

OnePlus 11 hands-on - Should you pre-order it now?

OnePlus 11 5G

  • Camera: 50MP Main Camera with Sony IMX890 (OIS supported), 48MP Ultrawide Camera with Sony IMX581 (FOV: 115 degree) and 32MP Telephoto lens with Sony IMX709 (2X Optical Zoom); 16MP Front (Selfie) Camera with EIS support
  • Camera Modes: Photo, Video, Night, PRO, PANO, Portrait, TIME-LAPSE, SLO-MO, Text scanner, Movie, Long Exposure, Dual-view video, TILT-SHIFT, XPAN, Scan, STICKER, and AI ID photo
  • Display: 6.7 Inches; 120 Hz AMOLED QHD Display with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus; Resolution: 3216 X 1440 pixels; HDR 10+, sRGB, 10-bit Color Depth, PWM + DC dimming
  • Operating System: OxygenOS based on Android 13
  • Processor: Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform
  • 8GB LPDDR5X RAM, 128GB UFS3.1 Storage
  • Battery & Charging: 5000 mAh with 100W SUPERVOOC
  • In-Display Fingerprint Sensor

Looks

Yes, OnePlus has retained its signature look and that metallic design with smooth corners makes it gripper than before. I’ve used the OnePlus 10 Pro for almost a year and for me the change is very acceptable because OnePlus has brought its key design elements back while keeping things very simple.

Not too heavy, but both Eternal Green and Titan Black are interesting the former color is the favourite for most I would say. The new green color has been implemented in a lot more OnePlus devices this year, so, anyone who goes for this can pair the upcoming OnePlus devices as well.

It’s very comfortable to hold, the OnePlus 11 is simple, and subtle, has good weight balance, overall aesthetics are great, and lastly, it’s always good to have the iconic Alert Slider on it.

OnePlus 11 hands-on - Should you pre-order it now?

Performance

OnePlus has always been giving the fastest Android flagship smartphones over years now and they have taken this simply to next-level this time with OnePlus 11. This smartphone is again powered by the powerful & efficient Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 that should provide a significant performance bump with OxygenOS paired.

With up to 16GB LPDDR5X memory and 256GB UFS 4.0 storage, you get the best performance you can ever demand of. Thanks to upgraded cooling, the heating issues seem to be resolved over the last year and OnePlus has assured up to 4 years of good user experience with the hardware you are getting now.

OnePlus 11 hands-on - Should you pre-order it now?

Display

In terms of display, almost everything remains the same as the OnePlus 10 Pro but this time the QHD+ display is a Super Fluid AMOLED one with LTPO 3.0 for better fluidity. So, anyone looking for the best display with high brightness can look for this without having spent over Rs.1lakh or $1000 as such.

Another good thing this time about the display is that it’s officially rated with Gorilla® Glass Victus which should be more durable compared to the 10 Pro of last year. Also, the display supports Dolby Vision which should further enhance the content consumption in popular apps like Netflix which offer rich video output.

OnePlus 11 hands-on - Should you pre-order it now?

Camera & Software

OnePlus is said to have upgraded its camera system thanks to the new 50MP Sony IMX890 sensor with OIS, a 48MP Sony IMX581 ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 32MP Sony IMX709 RGBW 2x telephoto camera. All of the camera systems seem to be upgraded to provide a better camera experience with the new Hasselblad Portrait Mode and 3rd Gen Hasselblad camera, we just got demo units at the event, so cannot judge improvements unless review units come to our testing!

OxygenOS is here to live as per OnePlus’s co-founder Pete Lau but always being merged with Oppo remains a threat, however, 4 years of software updates and 5 years of security upgrades give a feeling of peace at the back of your mind.

Battery & Charging

The OnePlus 11 this time lacks flagship wireless charging and doesn’t come with IP68 water resistance but OnePlus has kept the same battery capacity to 5,000 mAh, the improvement in efficiency should help give much better battery life against the OnePlus 10 Pro.

OnePlus 11 hands-on - Should you pre-order it now?

Though most people are happily charging their phones within half an hour, OnePlus has kept its promise of fast charging but implemented SUPERVOOC 100W charging and has its proprietary battery health engine which will enable the battery to last longer while still charging it within half an hour.

Audio & Connectivity

OnePlus has again worked on the audio part of this OnePlus 11, now you have Dual “Reality” Speakers which have been improved over last-gen. Tuned by Dolby for a perfect Dolby Atmos experience with Dolby Vision, this should be promising for audiophiles out there who love hearing to music all day long.

In terms of connectivity, OnePlus 11 is the first WiFi 7 smartphone in India and also it supports a plethora of 5G bands in India: N1, N3, N5, N7, N8, N20, N28A, N38, N40, N41, N66, N77, N78, most popular bands are covered and if you are Jio user, you don’t have to worry because OnePlus seems to have tied up with Jio True5G for a better experience.

OnePlus 11 hands-on - Should you pre-order it now?

Should You Pre-order?

OnePlus 11 is no doubt another flagship smartphone, not the most affordable I would say, but, delivers a 2023 flagship performance, and features and it’s worth the price. Now, should you pre-order it? Well, if you are an old OnePlus customer, say OnePlus 6 or 7 users, you can upgrade because OnePlus is even giving Rs.6k extra exchange bonus for them.

Also, one who was always passionate about OnePlus phones in the flagship range but isn’t willing to spend crazy numbers on iPhone 14 Pros or Galaxy Ultras can go for this. However, the camera will be a decisive factor which we need to test ourselves, so, if you are a camera addict wait for some time but most performance lovers should go for this new OnePlus 11 5G.

Pre-order the OnePlus 11 from Amazon India: https://amzn.to/3jIHCPc or OnePlus site: https://fas.st/M88Bf
